As you know, Durham and York Regions are trying to solve our garbage challenges with plans to build a waste incinerator in Clarington. We invite you to our next information evening.

WHITBY INFORMATION SESSION

Thursday, April 2, 2009, 7:00pm - 9:30pm
Ecole Catholique Secondaire Saint Charles Garnier

• Claudia Marsales, Manager, Waste Management, Town of Markham
  "Zero Waste in Action: Markham Walks the Talk"
• Shawn Williamson, Director, Durham Sustain Ability

The goal of this evening is to provide information and to encourage timely community involvement. This Information Session will also include a panel of speakers who will address the health, environmental and financial implications of incineration, as well as how we could move toward Zero Waste. Time will be set aside for questions and comments from the audience.

Zero Waste is getting attention from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment with its recent release of the public discussion paper Toward Zero Waste: A Review of the Waste Diversion Act (Comment deadline is April 1, 2009.)

PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL!

We look forward to seeing you on April 2, 2009 in Whitby.
